A man who died in floods during Storm Babet has been named at the opening of an inquest into his death.
Trevor David Furniss, aged 66, of Furnace Mill, near Kinlet, was a Sheffield-born company director who was seen to be in distress in the water at 10.30am on Friday, October 20.
Senior Shropshire Coroner John Ellery was told that the search lasted for 90 minutes before his body was found in Mad Brook, at Meaton Lane, in the Wyre Forest, and retrieved from the water. A paramedic confirmed that life was extinct at 12.41pm. At the time a spokesperson for West Mercia Police said:"Officers from West Mercia Police and Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service quickly attended but sadly he was found deceased at around 12.35pm."
“Following a thorough search and rescue operation, the man was rescued from the water. However, sadly it quickly became apparent that nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed dead at the scene.”
